Vision Training: the new steroid
Okay, we admit it: that headline was a little sensationalist. Flash Focus: Vision Training in Minutes a Day is hardly comparable to jabbing needles into increasingly-gigantic bodies (if nothing else, it's slightly less controversial), but if White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski is any indication, the simple vision training game may also have an impact on baseball. We can only hope it's a better one.Pierzynski apparently worked out with his DS and Flash Focus every morning during spring training. While the stylus is certainly a bit lighter than anything on the weight bench, something seems to be having an effect: he's out of the gate with a .529 batting average and a team-high seven RBI in just four games. Can we be sure it's Vision Training? Nah, but hey, whatever works![Thanks, Mark!]
